McMullen was first up for the Buffs. She started the last leg of the heptathlon in eighth place with three events on Saturday. First up was the long jump where she recorded the sixth-best jump of the event, topping out at 6.12m (20-1). McMullen dropped to 10th in the standings following the javelin where she placed 19th with a throw of 32.27m (105-10). The 800-meters was contested later in the evening, where she clocked a 2:21.88 to finish 12th.
McMullen totaled 5752 points across the two days to place 10th overall in the event. She improved two spots from her appearance in last year's outdoor championships.
Glynn got the night session going for the Buffs in the 400-meter hurdle finals. She set the CU school record in the semifinals with a time of 55.94. On Saturday, she entered the final seeded sixth and closed off her season by clocking a time of 56.01 to place eighth and earning First Team All-American honors.
Glynn's finish was her best in three NCAA Outdoor meets, improving from an 11th-place finish in 2022.
